All through the ages, the wise men and sages
Have said there are dirty deeds that simply must be done
To keep society going and the benefits flowing
There's a simple necessity of hurting someone
It makes strength and agility, taking responsibility
It's the core of what leadership's really about
When the red blood starts coming, just think of it as plumbing
If you've got a problem you must flush it out
Bridge:
But there's no one else with guts enough
To be willing to kick their butts enough
I'm the only one quite nuts enough
To admit it, they all hid it
But I'm standing right here proud
His head held high, unbowed
I'll shout it right out loud
He did it, I did it, he did it
Rock-a-bye, sweet baby, Mama is here
Hush-a-bye, sweet angel, there's nothing to fear
Close you eyes, sweet darling, all through the night
Mama will hold you safe 'til the morning light
When the red blood starts coming, just think of it as plumbing
Mama will hold you safe
If you've got a problem you must flush it out
'Til the morning light
